GodotCon is coming soon, and we now have a venue: Ludus Académie, a gamedev school in the North of Brussels.
It's also time for all attendees to do some homework and think about what talk or workshop they'd like to propose, so that we can fill our two days with fulfilling exchanges of knowledge (we'll try to record talks as best as we can). ... See more

The fight for #NetNeutrality is going to save the internet. Want websites you frequent to outright be blacklisted? Want
across the board, by law online censorship? Fancy the idea of being taxed for streaming, downloading, online gaming, using social media etc. charging you through the nose.
How about the fact that they want to allow monopolies of print media and television by major corporations so independent views and info will be a thing of the past.
The head of the FCC Ajit Pai is in the back pockets of major internet service providers and law makers pushing to control the flow of the internet and capitalize on it financially. Don't let these assholes win. Share this information around, voting is on the 14th, so contact your state representatives

I am working on finishing a time tracking software. I estimate, give or take, about 1 month to finish it. Depends how long it will take to move stuff out from the old place. (Yes, there is a lot. None of it is mine.)

When that is done, the Godot Engine vehicle shooter project will resume during livestreams EACH week - together with the occasional video.
I have not tested the audio in my new place, and worry a bit about the noise level (neighbors). I might have to get sound-padding on the wall after a few streams. ... See more

I usually post status updates on Twitter, but I would like to enter more words than Twitter allows me.

tldr; After I am done moving and settled in, things will go back to normal with game design & dev-streams. Woowoop!!

This weekend and throughout next week, I will actually "move".
I will begin by cleaning and packing my "office", and get it moved to my new place. Then I will probably spend the rest of the week moving back and fourth between places while cleaning and throwing out junk (a lot), and then of course more cleaning.
The process is expected to take at least 1 week - possibly more depending how much we get done.

Once I am done - having broken all my chains with the previous apartment, I plan to organize a more formal schedule to get things done- both on a personal level (training, diet), professional (updating the web-site), and of course game design (tutorials, dev-streams, Godot 2D and *3D!*).

You may think that "You moving is not really a good excuse not to do anything", and I would agree.
The reason I have not been doing much in a couple of months is not because I am moving (or not moving) - it is because I spend 3h every day going to and from work, which leaves me about 2-3h before going to bed. In those 2-3h I usually spend relaxing and being lazy.

After I move, I expect to be spending 30m (total) going to and from work, which will remove my "gotta go fast"-attitude I have in order to reach the 1h train, that leave once every hour. (If I miss it, I have to stay 1 hour longer!). That in itself will remove a huge amount of "burden" off my shoulders. Woo!

Luckily, I love my job so far. Programming. Systems development. Systems architecture. Java.
Often while programming I have to think "Am I working right now?". Because this is not a job. It's a lifestyle.
